Ok, from the logs and some lines I had added to 12fstab I can see that
there is not /dev/sd[a-z] devices when 12fstab runs:
+ /scripts/live-bottom/12fstab
+ PREREQ=
+ FSTAB=/root/etc/fstab
+ . /scripts/live-functions
+ . /scripts/functions
+ . /live.vars
+ [ -n ]
+ log_begin_msg Configuring fstab
+ [ -x /sbin/usplash_write ]
+ _log_msg Begin: Configuring fstab ...
+ [ n = y ]
+ printf Begin: Configuring fstab ...
Begin: Configuring fstab ... + [ ! -f /root/etc/fstab ]
+ grep -qs UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM /root/etc/fstab
+ cat
+ grep -qs ^aufs /root/etc/fstab
+ echo aufs / aufs rw 0 0
+ grep -qs ^tmpfs /tmp /root/etc/fstab
+ echo tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nosuid,nodev 0 0
+ [ -n Yes ]
+ devices=
+ ls -lrtha /dev/sd*
ls: /dev/sd*: No such file or directory
+ blkid
/dev/loop0: TYPE="squashfs"
+ [ -b /dev/[hs]d[a-z][0-9]* ]
+ continue
+ grep -qs swap swap /root/etc/fstab
+ [ != Yes ]
+ touch root/fastboot
So 12fstab don't even try to mount any swap partition.

I had tried that (Probably I am doing it wrong, but I thought it was
just a matter of including modprobe lines in
the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/live-premount/modules file, so I
added:
modprobe scsi_mod
modprobe crc-t10dif
modprobe sd_mod
lsmod
at the very end (also put set -x at the beginning) but it seems that
they are not loaded:
+ /scripts/live-premount/modules
+ PREREQ=udev
+ modprobe -q ide-generic
+ modprobe -q esp
+ modprobe scsi_mod
+ modprobe crc-t10dif
+ modprobe sd_mod
+ lsmod
/scripts/live-premount/modules: line 1: lsmod: not found
(well seems that lsmod command is not ready at that moment, but as far
as the /dev/sda* partitions aren't created seems that the modules
weren't loaded)
¿What is the way to load modules into kernel in the live-premount?
